Purpose- This article is aimed at analyzing the influence of Employees’ Communication (EC) on the practices of occupational health and safety in small scale mining firms.
Methodology- This study applied the explanatory research design whereby information from respondents was collected through quantitative method of the study which provided the statistical generalization of findings (Mashia et al., 2016). This research design was selected because it enables the researcher to have greater control over the accuracy of findings. Data were collected from three regions namely Shinyanga, Arusha and Geita. These regions were selected because they are the dominant regions dealing with mining activities in Tanzania.
Findings-The findings revealed that employees’ communication programme has a positive influence on implementation of organization safety support at workplace. Therefore, if the management concentrates on enhancing the employees’ communication accidents, injury cases would be controlled. On the other hand, the results revealed that employees’ communication has positive influence for the implementation of proactive hazard control at workplace. Yeong and Shah ( 2016) any organization which values its human resources tends to maintain health and safety by preparing the health and safety proactive hazard control strategies so as to protect employees at workplace.
Conclusion- This article concludes that employees’ communication programmes significantly influence the implementation of OSS and PHC at the workplace. Therefore, organizations can realize safety of employees if there are serious strategies on emphasizing the employees’ communication at workplaces.
